What cultures and times peak your interest? It's a broad, deep, and wonderful rabbit hole to go down. I'd say, follow what you find interesting. Chase the subjects and times that interest you. Wikipedia's a great place to run

DDG has been my default search for the last few years and I only very rarely use it for it's native search results. The bang (!) search syntax is by far the biggest reason I use it. It allows me to search sooooo many websites directly

To be fair, by far the most powerful weapon the Spaniards had was disease, not technology. That's what ended up killing millions of Native Americans. So, it's a bit of a weird analogy...

I definitely read this as "Foster and Parents" and was very confused. But dope, campus looks good!

I switched at about the same time and now I'm hooked. Using the ! syntax to search any major site from my address bar is so damn useful I don't want to go back.

Doesn't look likely. They were a peaceful culture. There is little evidence of them ever fighting on a larger scale. Until a warlike Proto-Indo-European culture invaded and ended theirs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

Ok, cool. I didn't know that. Wasn't sure if I was supposed to read it as fiction or non-fiction.

Yeah, barre chords suck, no doubt about that. I've been playing for 12 years now and really I just avoid them. There are a lot of work-arounds for most music. I find I only might need one or two for a song. That makes it much more mana

Squier has definitely improved. Pretty mind blowing what they can make now for $150.

Yes, yes, yes! I didn't know he had a blog. I've only seen his Youtube channel. Time to take a deep dive into his written material.

This article should have a (2013) tag at the end of it. But yeah, the Hoover Institute predicted this fight pretty damn well.

I've been using Solus on my laptop for almost a year now and I must say, for everyday use, it is quite good. I'm not sure about using it as a dev machine. But if you just want to browser the web, listen to music, and occasionally

You can use programs like Wine to run Windows applications. That makes switching a bit less painful, at least.

This reminds me of my time in Stockholm. I was there for a few months and saw quite a few homeless people. I don't remember a single one of them being a white "native" Swede. They all appeared to be immigrants. Swedes might b

However weird it feels, this makes sense. Why did we ever have do things like use an HTML tag immediately after declaring the DOCTYPE as HTML anyway?

The "Escape the ordinary" section made me laugh. Looks very similar to a million websites/design styles before them.

This feels like one of the most effective ways to solve climate change. Working at a national or international is slowed way down by a ton of competing interests. Working at a personal level like you're barely making a dent. But workin

You should check out Pando, a grove of this one quaking aspen tree that is supposed to be about 80,000 years old. It's bonkers how old trees can live.
